American musical group Boyz II Men expressed their support for the Tokyo bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2016.
The most successful R&B group shared their thoughts in a letter to the Tokyo 2016 Bid Committee on the eve of a series of Japan performances.
“Tokyo is a city we have been fortunate enough to have performed in since 1993. It is a multicultural place full of friendly faces, and we know it is also somewhere our fellow entertainers love to come. From its cutting-edge technology to its people’s hospitality and passion for sport, Tokyo is the perfect stage for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
In R&B legends Boyz II Men add their voice to support for Tokyo 2016 the group goes on to share that singing “The Star Spangled Banner” during the closing ceremony of the Atlanta Games in 1996 was one of the most fulfilling experiences of their career and lives.
Boy II Men will perform at the Umeda Arts Theater in Osaka on July 28 & 29, the Nagoya Congress Center Century Hall on August 1st and at the Pacifico Yokohama National Convention Hall on August 4th.
